Dorky Disboutiquing DiserSistas:Destination DisneyTeresajoys(true)version:TheEnd 1/23

Ok...I read the whole thing. I've said it before and I will say it again...you should be so proud of your kiddos. They sound like truly wonderful children.

Love your Belle shirt!

I'm embarrassed to admit that I'm one of those people who fly through Mickey and Minnie's houses. I didn't even know there was a sewing machine til I saw it on the Disboutique TRs :sad2:

I'm wondering if you had the same women we did at the photography studio. Our was truly fantastic too. I'm so glad that you had a better experience this time.

Did you ever hear back from BBB? Our FGIT wasn't that thrilling either. She wasn't bad but there were so many other FGIT who were really getting into it. Ours barely spoke. They really need to train them better.
 
I have so much to say from your last day!

I am so glad that you got Lydia's haircut! It is a must to have the first haircut at disney! And I am glad Lydia got her face painted (but not glad that Arminda pouted through it).

I love the make your own mickey ears. Dallas asked to do this in California and I wish I would have let him now. It was our last day and they were getting ready to close and I was adding up everything he wanted thinking that was one super expensive set of ears! I love the make your own everything!

The romantic cruise sounds wonderful. Love the sewing machine shots and Dallas could play in Minnie's kitchen for hours! It always amazes me how long he is interested in doing and watching the same thing over and over.
 
great update, i love haircuts at the barbershop and playing in minnies house is such fun, but i wish mickeys house were more interactive. lydia looked adorable with her makeup done and the pics came out really cute, and that was so nice of the cm to give arminda those tink pins. i got those at tonys town square when the cm asked how my day was and i explained that i had met some cranky cms, he also gave my mom a free dessert. some cms are just so nice. and corey finds the coolest things to take pictures of i swear he notices so many things, i think maybe just maybe one day i will not be a touring gestapo, and may actually slow down and look at all the details. maybe is the key word here, again great update
 
Great TP!

How fun Lydia got a wish! Arminda was cute pouting! Very cool that she got 2 pins from a cm and loved giving one away!

Sorry your experience was so bad at the BBB. Nikki was was fantastic! The figit was so sweet the photographer was wonderful too. I was so nervous after reading your TR about having Nikki's hair done at the castle but it was wonderful! . Ok need to start my TR so I can tell you the fun details!
 

Cute, Cute, Cute and more cuteness!!! Love all the magical moments shared with your family! Ugh...I should have taken notes...there was so much I wanted to comment on!

I did not know that there was a place you could make your own ears! I will be going! I have NEVER had a set of ears and for some reason I did not speak up and get a pair this year!:confused3 I will next year!;)

Great update!
 
Hi Teresa....I just loved your day at MK! Sounded like you all had a wonderful day together and you even had some dreams come true! Your children are beautiful and handsome! I love the pics of Tom Sawyer Island! And my fav...Splash Mountain! :thumbsup2 Lydia's first haircut is just adorable especially with her cute Tink dress and ears (and makeup!). Glad Arminda was cheered by the pin and pin sharing! She is sooo sweet....like her mama! :goodvibes I am soooo sad the trip is ending soon.
 
Yeah!!! You updated!!! Woo Hoot!!

Lydia DOES look so cute in her Tink outfit!

Aw….you look so sweet!! Great tiara! :thumbsup2

And Corey…awesome outfit, man! :cool2:

First haircut…at Disney! How fun! It was cool that you got the cool Mickey ears!

Hey now! You are not fat then OR now! Don’t make me come over there!! :sad2: :rolleyes1

Yeah! Lydia got dreamed?!?!?! That is so cool!! And TINK…Great choice!!

But poor Arminda…that stinks that she didn’t? :rolleyes: Bless her heart.

Oh my gosh!! The certificate thing…so is that part of the dream? I have been trying to figure out if Lauren’s Princess of the Day at Hollywood is considered an official “dream”…we felt like it was…but I was curious!?

I do see your point on the discipline issue…But GO CM man who gave Arminda some pins to cheer her up!!

Your quote (still don't know how to quote part of a post...)
”He was going to take Mickey's bike for a spin around the park, but a CM kindly suggested that he leave it where it was.”

That is funny!! :rotfl: :rotfl2:


Aw…Arminda spreading the love! How sweet…:lovestruc


And another quote...
“…tables outside that restaurant there (sorry I don't remember the name!)”

Ha ha ha! I am SOOOO glad I am not the only one that can’t remember that stuff!! And you are a real Diser! So I don’t feel so bad, now! BTW…I have now actually SEEN Cinderella!! Seriously…watched it just a week or so ago! Cute little mice!


Aww…Tessa did so well as Chip! :)



Yeah!! A good photographer! I am so, so glad that you guys got a good one! And the pics are so cute!

Aw….cool hats! But I want a full on picture of them! I only got to see the back! Or from far away…I want a full on picture of those cute hats!

And that SHOW…yes…it is the one that made me cry! Great show!

Bless you…the cave and then the bridge! Aw…


Ah ha! I see them…the hats! I see Lydia’s…very cute! And Arminda’s…awesome! :thumbsup2 Ok, you don’t have to take more pictures now!  lol


Smoochin on the cruise…you guys are killing me! :sad2:


Nice hat! I need one of those! The mood changing without notice hat!



They didn’t do ANYTHING at BBB to address the past issue? No calls, no nothing? Not very Disney-ish! :headache:


Wonderful update…and you totally have me hanging about the “who’s flying this thing?” What is up with that??? A literal cliffhanger??!?!? :scared1:

It better be less than a month before you tell us where you were hanging?!?! :)

Great TR...Tell Heather she has to catch up!!
 
I have my next update all written up and I'm just uploading video. So, I had some time to read your update!

Arminda looks SO cute in those sunglasses!

Perhaps word of "Teresajoy" and her fake name have gotten around to the rest of the Diser universe! (in reference to WoodysRoundup's husband not claiming Diser status)

I was wondering if you usually rode on the trolley. I've never rode it either. I think we should try it next time!

I didn't realize Lydia's ears said "First Haircut" on the back! How cute!

Brian is awfully cute with his Disney-loving-ness!

You do not look fat in that picture, you silly. You also don't look fat now!

I never noticed what it said on the side of the sewing machine! Funny!

Wow, they came right up to Lydia in the gift shop to get her face painted?! How cool! I thought they'd asked her as she was walking by the face painting station.

I love how you put that picture of Arminda in there. It does look very similar to her pouting stance.

Arminda was the cutest little pouter ever!! I remember her little baby pout!

I would have been shocked if you said you had handed the pins back to the CM!!

I love your recounting of Arminda recounting the pin giving experience! I can hear her breathlessly saying it all in one sentence!

I really wish that photographer had been working the week before!!

"They don't write lyrics like that anymore" :rotfl:

You're such a big girl, bouncing on the barrel bridge! Good girl, Teresa!

Playing checkers at Disney?! I bet that board doesn't get used much!

OOOOHHH- Smoochin'!!! Too bad Tessa missed that!!

What song did the CMs sing to Arminda? Was it Happy Birthday?

Oh my gosh, Lydia's flirty face looking at that boy is GREAT!! She's so stinkin' cute!

Those green eyebrows are too funny!!
 
I forgot: did you tell Arminda that she got free stuff all week even though it wasn't her birthday all week when she was pouting about Lydia's face painting dream? I think it is something Tessa would ask! :lmao:
 
I have my next update all written up and I'm just uploading video.

I have some video from this day to upload too. I think Corey videotaped Lydia's facepainting and of course Tessa's Belle performance!

Arminda looks SO cute in those sunglasses!

Her wonderful Aunt bought those for her!

Perhaps word of "Teresajoy" and her fake name have gotten around to the rest of the Diser universe! (in reference to WoodysRoundup's husband not claiming Diser status)

FUNNY! VERY FUNNY

I was wondering if you usually rode on the trolley. I've never rode it either. I think we should try it next time!

Nope, this was my first time ever!! I have yet to do the horse drawn one though! Brian, Corey and Arminda did that one too, while we were in the barber shop.
How cute!

Brian is awfully cute with his Disney-loving-ness!
he is, isn't he!

Wow, they came right up to Lydia in the gift shop to get her face painted?! How cool! I thought they'd asked her as she was walking by the face painting station.

It was so cool!!! And Brian was just about as excited as Lydia!

Arminda was the cutest little pouter ever!! I remember her little baby pout!
Pouting is just in her blood!
I would have been shocked if you said you had handed the pins back to the CM!!

I knew you would never believe that I did that!

I love your recounting of Arminda recounting the pin giving experience! I can hear her breathlessly saying it all in one sentence!

I knew you would know EXACTLY what I was talking about!!! She really is a sweet little girl.
I really wish that photographer had been working the week before!!
ME TOO! She was just so sweet! If we would have had Susan do all the girl's hair, and THIS photographer, I would have thought anyone who said the experience was anything less than magical was crazy!

"They don't write lyrics like that anymore" :rotfl:
Knew you'd like that!

You're such a big girl, bouncing on the barrel bridge! Good girl, Teresa!
hehehe

Playing checkers at Disney?! I bet that board doesn't get used much!
Brian has taught me a different way to tour Disney!

OOOOHHH- Smoochin'!!! Too bad Tessa missed that!!
I know! I was thinking that too! So, you better tell her!

What song did the CMs sing to Arminda? Was it Happy Birthday?

Yep! Sorry I didn't mention that!

Oh my gosh, Lydia's flirty face looking at that boy is GREAT!! She's so stinkin' cute!
I KNOW! She's not a flirty little girl, so I thought this picture was so cute! Especially when she told me what she was thinking!
Those green eyebrows are too funny!!
Don't make me angry, you won't like me when I'm angry!:rotfl2: She would NOT let me wash it off though!

I loved:

  • Arminda's Pout
  • Lydia's First Haircut
  • Tom Sawyer's Island (I didn't know there was so much to do there)
  • Your Disney Lovin' Husband
  • Tessa Dressed as Belle
  • The Girls' Mickey Ears

Hey, it's our orange Belle!
Yeah!!! Steph took notes and commented!!!! She does have a cute pout! You need to go on Tom Sawyer's Island and just take your time! It's fun!

I love my Disney Lovin' husband too! He tried to deny his love of Disney for years, but lately he is just admitting that he loves it!

Hey, what about ME dressed as Belle!?

Those ears were cool!

Ok...I read the whole thing. I've said it before and I will say it again...you should be so proud of your kiddos. They sound like truly wonderful children.

Love your Belle shirt!

I'm embarrassed to admit that I'm one of those people who fly through Mickey and Minnie's houses. I didn't even know there was a sewing machine til I saw it on the Disboutique TRs :sad2:

I'm wondering if you had the same women we did at the photography studio. Our was truly fantastic too. I'm so glad that you had a better experience this time.

Did you ever hear back from BBB? Our FGIT wasn't that thrilling either. She wasn't bad but there were so many other FGIT who were really getting into it. Ours barely spoke. They really need to train them better.

Thank you! I think they are pretty great too!

Thank you for your compliments of my Belle shirt! It came to me right before we left home to do this! It was fun, but I don't think most people got it! It wasn't as obvious as my Snow White.

You need to PLAY in Minnie's House, or else, it's just boring!

This lady had a Mexican accent, she was probably in her late 40's or 50's. Really nice! I'm glad you had a good photographer!

Nope, I never heard anything back. I have a feeling the manager put my complaint into the circular file! (Garbage can, incase anyone has never heard that term!)

What was your FGIT's name?



I have so much to say from your last day!

I am so glad that you got Lydia's haircut! It is a must to have the first haircut at disney! And I am glad Lydia got her face painted (but not glad that Arminda pouted through it).

It was fun! Poor Arminda, life is so unfair! :rotfl2:
I love the make your own mickey ears. Dallas asked to do this in California and I wish I would have let him now. It was our last day and they were getting ready to close and I was adding up everything he wanted thinking that was one super expensive set of ears! I love the make your own everything!

You should have!!! It was fun!

The romantic cruise sounds wonderful.

Love the sewing machine shots and Dallas could play in Minnie's kitchen for hours! It always amazes me how long he is interested in doing and watching the same thing over and over.
I think Lydia and Dallas would get along nicely!

great update, i love haircuts at the barbershop and playing in minnies house is such fun, but i wish mickeys house were more interactive. lydia looked adorable with her makeup done and the pics came out really cute, and that was so nice of the cm to give arminda those tink pins. i got those at tonys town square when the cm asked how my day was and i explained that i had met some cranky cms, he also gave my mom a free dessert. some cms are just so nice. and corey finds the coolest things to take pictures of i swear he notices so many things, i think maybe just maybe one day i will not be a touring gestapo, and may actually slow down and look at all the details. maybe is the key word here, again great update
Mickey's house isn't nearly as much fun, is it! I wonder why they did that?

I thought Lyddy looked pretty cute too!

Oh, how sweet that the CM gave you pins and a free dessert! There ARE wonderful CMs out there! I just wish there weren't so many grumpy ones!

I think Corey really has an artistic eye when it comes to taking pictures! He takes the most amazing pictures with just his little cheapy point and shoot! Hmmm, now that I'm almost done with THIS years TR, maybe I'll write last years and write about HOW Corey got that cheapy point and shoot camera!

I would probably still be a touring gestapo if it weren't for Brian! He taught me to slow down and just enjoy the park. I'd always had fun before, doing it the gestapo way, but this is a different kind of fun, and one HE enjoys so it makes it better for ALL of us! I doubt he would be a Disney lover if I had kept insisting on doing it MY way! Don't tell him, but SOMETIMES he is right! (I can say that because he NEVER reads the Disboards!)
Great TP!

How fun Lydia got a wish! Arminda was cute pouting! Very cool that she got 2 pins from a cm and loved giving one away!

Sorry your experience was so bad at the BBB. Nikki was was fantastic! The figit was so sweet the photographer was wonderful too. I was so nervous after reading your TR about having Nikki's hair done at the castle but it was wonderful! . Ok need to start my TR so I can tell you the fun details!

Oh, I can't wait to read about Nikki's BBB experience!!!! I love to hear that people had a great time there! Now, get busy writing that TR!

Cute, Cute, Cute and more cuteness!!! Love all the magical moments shared with your family! Ugh...I should have taken notes...there was so much I wanted to comment on!

I did not know that there was a place you could make your own ears! I will be going! I have NEVER had a set of ears and for some reason I did not speak up and get a pair this year!:confused3 I will next year!;)

Great update!
We did have a great time! Yes, yes, you need to take notes while reading the TRs!!! Heather taught me that! (I have my Windows Notepad open and type comments as I read!)

I didn't know about the make your own ear place either until my Mom told me about it! It was a lot of fun! And the ladies working in there were great!

Hi Teresa....I just loved your day at MK! Sounded like you all had a wonderful day together and you even had some dreams come true! Your children are beautiful and handsome! I love the pics of Tom Sawyer Island! And my fav...Splash Mountain! :thumbsup2 Lydia's first haircut is just adorable especially with her cute Tink dress and ears (and makeup!). Glad Arminda was cheered by the pin and pin sharing! She is sooo sweet....like her mama! :goodvibes I am soooo sad the trip is ending soon.

Aww, thanks! I think they are pretty cute kids too! I can't believe Corey is getting so old though! How does that happen????

Yep, the pin and pin giving away cheered Arminda up greatly! She was really happy to give away the other pin. She is really a very giving child!
Yeah!!! You updated!!! Woo Hoot!!

Lydia DOES look so cute in her Tink outfit!

Thank you!

Aw….you look so sweet!! Great tiara! :thumbsup2
I liked the tiara too!


Yeah! Lydia got dreamed?!?!?! That is so cool!! And TINK…Great choice!!

It was so wonderful!! Especially on our last day!



Oh my gosh!! The certificate thing…so is that part of the dream? I have been trying to figure out if Lauren’s Princess of the Day at Hollywood is considered an official “dream”…we felt like it was…but I was curious!?

I'm not sure, but it is such a nice thing that they did!


Your quote (still don't know how to quote part of a post...)
”He was going to take Mickey's bike for a spin around the park, but a CM kindly suggested that he leave it where it was.”

Glad you liked that!

And another quote...
“…tables outside that restaurant there (sorry I don't remember the name!)”
Ha ha ha! I am SOOOO glad I am not the only one that can’t remember that stuff!! And you are a real Diser! So I don’t feel so bad, now!
We never eat at the restaurants so I have NO clue what they are! I doubt I'd remember even if I DID eat there!

BTW…I have now actually SEEN Cinderella!! Seriously…watched it just a week or so ago! Cute little mice!

There you go!!!! NOW you can call yourself a DISER!!!

Yeah!! A good photographer! I am so, so glad that you guys got a good one! And the pics are so cute!
Thank you!!! It was just wonderful to have such a sweet photographer!

Nice hat! I need one of those! The mood changing without notice hat!
I couldn't help but laugh when I turned around and he was wearing that!


They didn’t do ANYTHING at BBB to address the past issue? No calls, no nothing? Not very Disney-ish! :headache:

Nope, nothing! I am very disapointed in them. I think someone should have at LEAST called me.



It better be less than a month before you tell us where you were hanging?!?! :)

I promise to update in less than a month!

I forgot: did you tell Arminda that she got free stuff all week even though it wasn't her birthday all week when she was pouting about Lydia's face painting dream? I think it is something Tessa would ask! :lmao:

Oh YEAH! We did!
 
Great update! :thumbsup2

Loving the Belle t-shirt.

I want to do a more relaxed tour of WDW, but I never do.

I think it must help to go every year. [Think John would buy that excuse?]

I want to go to TS island next trip. We've scaled back to seven days though, so might be harder to do. Hmmmm....

I'm sad that your trip report is almost over, but at least you and Heather will both have another trip before I go back! :wizard:

Funny thing is, this year was a much more hectic touring schedule for us and we had 10 day passes. We usually only go to Disney for 3 or 4 days at the most out of our two weeks, and we take it much slower at the parks! Of course, going every year DOES help!
 
i would probably still be a touring gestapo if it weren't for Brian! He taught me to slow down and just enjoy the park. I'd always had fun before, doing it the gestapo way, but this is a different kind of fun, and one HE enjoys so it makes it better for ALL of us! I doubt he would be a Disney lover if I had kept insisting on doing it MY way! Don't tell him, but SOMETIMES he is right! (I can say that because he NEVER reads the Disboards!)
thats so funny jay keeps telling me to get off the disboards since i dont have another trip planned yet he doesnt understand my obsession with it. right before we left i convinced him to sign up since there was a disney dads thread. he read it once and decided it wasnt for him. he doesnt mind being in disney one week every other year but living in my disney obsessed world can push him over the edge.:lmao:
 
I LOVE Lydia's Tink costume:lovestruc

I want Arminda's black tee/red pants Mickey outfit, so Chic.

Thats a wonderful photo when you are Princess Belle, you look so happy and your eyes are sparkling.

Corey didnt let the side down with his Mickey ears :) :)

After reading your TR from the beginning I do seem to really miss the Pluto head/ears though, those big floppy ears your brother wore the entire time had me in stitches:rotfl2:

Lydias face painting treat was fantastic, she looked really good with her make-up, the green eyebrows later on it the day looked funny.

Arminda with the pout:lmao: :lmao: I wanna see a photo of the BABY pout, that musta been so cute.

Playing checkers!!! :rotfl: :rotfl: Not a thing that someone would usually associate with going to Disney World but it looked so happy and peaceful, a lovely quiet family Oasis in the middle of all the hub-bub that is Disney.

I now sit here waiting for the final installment.
I want you to write it but on the other hand I dont *** then it will mean there is no more Sista's Trip Report.

Mandy, I'm glad you are enjoying the TR! I liked that black red ensemble too! Heather made that for Courtney. Courtney is one skinny little 14 year old, so it fit Arminda too!

The checkers really was a lot of fun! Now, that's the kind of thing that would have sent me into a tizy if Brian had suggeste it a few years ago! But, it was so nice!

Arminda's pouts are legendary!

I plan to finish this up this year, so, within the next few weeks. :thumbsup2 I will probably start another in May. I may try to write a TR for the year before too, just so I can have a better record of it for myself. That was a really fun trip too. Heathe says she doesn't know if she'll write one for her February trip, I say she BETTER!

We are going in May. Brian's sister is coming for her every three year trip from California though, so we may have to change the dates around that we have. Although, SHE doesn't even know HER dates yet! Just a general "sometime in May" :rolleyes1
 
So, I followed you and your sister over from the Disboutiquers board (which I read all the time, but rarely ever post on!). I spent the weekend reading both of your reports...how fun! :thumbsup2 :cool1: :lovestruc Sounds like you all had an awesome time, and I'm jealous of your long vacation! I love all of the customs, they're great! I can see the love that all of you have for each other, and it makes happy. :hug: Thanks for posting!!!:banana: :banana: :banana:

When are your dates in May? Did I miss you posting them? We always go for the weekend on Megan's birthday (memorial day).
 
Just caught up and loved your latest installments. Your last MK day sounded lovely! :) My favorite part was the pictures of Lydia after she got her face painted. :goodvibes The shots through the Mickey mirror are really cool! And she and your DH look so happy! :thumbsup2
